The Black Plague is most famous when asking about diseases in the middle ages. The most popular form of medical treatment back then was a method called "bleeding". This process consisted of the doctors cutting areas on the patients and draining the "bad blood". This method proved very ineffective due to the patients becoming weaker due to blood loss and more prone to diseases. A popular bleeding method was to heat a jar and place it on the back of a patient. The jar would create a vacuum and suck the skin and blood of the patient into the jar, creating a blood pocket. Then, the doctor would place a wooden box with metal teeth inside over the pocket and the teeth would tear up the skin and allow the blood to flow down where it was collected.
